My question is..... if you have a coach that is questioning your rules interps and being a total stickler on the rules, do you start to follow suit on them or just let it go?
What level of ball are we talking about here?
Is coach a rules stickler on both ends of the court?
What rules is coach squacking about?

Don't let it go on for to long without addressing the coach. Usually I start with a civil discussion something like: "coach what are you seeing?" or "coach, I'll watch for it." If coach continues, I'll watch real hard when his team has the ball as maybe they will commit this violation so I can call it for coach. Some might say I'm baiting the coach, but most times they will get the message. I also am not a fan or reminding anyone who's the coach/ref.
